Kentucky State Police Public Affairs Officer Michael Webb spent most of the day on the road. Webb, who updated the Local on road conditions around 2 p.m. from the road, and advised drivers to avoid traveling on I-71 anywhere in Henry County this afternoon and evening.

According to a report released by the Surgeon General two years ago a young person commits suicide every two hours in our country.

What is even more alarming is there are even more suicidal attempts and gestures than there are actual completed suicides.

Four days after the first boys’ basketball Litkenhous Ratings of the season were released, the Courier-Jurnal revealed the first girls’ list. For the two high schools in Henry County, the results were the same.

The Henry girls are 11th among 8th Region teams and the Eminence girls are 16th — the exact same spots as their counterparts. There are 16 teams in the region.

The Litkenhous Ratings are a computerized formula that ranks the state’s teams based on record, strength of schedule and other factors against in-state schools.

I am writing about the appellate court that granted the (Danny) May appeal. I think you did a great job in your story. I hope that everyone who read that article will see that there are a lot of people that are not getting a fair deal. And thank God someone from the Court of Appeals took time to research May’s court record, and found in his favor. Glory be to God in the highest. I hope that everyone will respond to that article.

I am writing in regard to the May appeal story because I am one of the few people who have seen the records that exist which contain certain statements made by the state that are in my opinion very wrong for a person of the court to make when they are involved in the case that decides the fate of that person.

They beat Elizabethtown in the second round. They reached the state quarterfinals for just the second time in school history.
